NXP i.MX7D

The i.MX 7Dual delivers high-performance processing for low-power requirements
with a high degree of functional integration. The i.MX 7Dual features an advanced
implementation of two ARM®Cortex®-A7 cores, which operate at speeds of up to
1.2 GHz, as well as the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core.
The Pico variant is pin-compatible with the Intel® Edison for sensors and
low-speed I/O, but also adds additional expansion possibilities for multimedia
and connectivity, giving you cutting edge technology that can easily be expanded
and implemented for IoT designs.

Select the option to install Android Things and optionally set up Wi-Fi.

Select NXP Pico i.MX7D as the hardware board.

Choose either a generic image or your own custom image of Android Things
for flashing the board.

Note: A generic image is a quick way to get started using Android
Things, specifically for early prototyping. You will not have access to
other Console features, such as metrics, crash reports, and over-the-air
(OTA) updates. A custom image is for developers in the later stages of
development beyond early prototyping. It can be downloaded
from the Android Things Console after
creating a product.

Follow the rest of the utility prompts to flash the connected device.
You will be given the option to set up Wi-Fi after the device is
flashed.

Serial debug console

The serial console is a helpful tool for debugging your board and reviewing
system log information. The console is the default output location for kernel
log messages (i.e. dmesg), and it also provides access to a full shell prompt
that you can use to access commands such as logcat.
This is helpful if you are unable to access ADB on your board through other
means and have not yet enabled a network connection.

To access the serial console, connect a micro USB cable to the board as shown
below.

Open a connection to the USB serial device on your development computer using a
terminal program, such as PuTTY (Windows),
Serial (Mac OS), or
Minicom (Linux). The serial port
parameters for the console are as follows:
